"I can win! I'll take you on!"
A clear shout rang out, and then a figure leaped into the arena as lightly as a bird.
He was a young Taoist priest, tall and imposing, with a gleaming sword tightly in his hand.
Facing a hostile opponent, Dou Nengsheng's lips curled into a slight smile.
With a flick of his right hand, a whisk shimmering with a mysterious light appeared in his hand.
He took a step forward, flicked his wrist, and the whisk, like a nimble dragon, swept straight toward the Taoist's face with a fierce aura.
This whisk is no ordinary item. Its handle is made from a branch of an extremely precious innate spiritual root, and the fine and soft whisk threads are even more extraordinary, carefully crafted from the lotus roots growing in the Golden Pool owned by Guan Kong.
Seeing the whisk coming at him, the Taoist priest dodged quickly to the side.
At the same time, he swung his sword, drawing an arc of light that accurately deflected the whisk to one side.
Without hesitation, he thrust his sword forward, the tip aimed directly at Dou Nengsheng's vital point.
Dou Nengsheng swayed and dodged, then flicked his whisk again, aiming it at the Taoist's face.
The two fought back and forth for a while, and neither could gain the upper hand.
After more than ten rounds, Dou Nengsheng suddenly withdrew and immediately took out a jade talisman from his sleeve.
This is the innate spiritual treasure, the Taiji Talisman Seal. He lent it to King Zhao Xi of Qin as a token, so that he could use it to seek help from Taoist disciples when he encountered danger.
Later, Hu Le bestowed the Kongtong Seal upon Zhao Xi, but the Taiji Seal was no longer of much use to him.
When the two met again, Zhao Xi returned the Tai Chi talisman to Dou Nengsheng...
Seeing that he could not subdue the Taoist priest in time, Dou Nengsheng immediately took out the Taiji Talisman and threw it forcefully to the ground.
With a snap, the talisman landed, and a burst of innate Yin-Yang divine light erupted from the ground.
Divine light spread across the land, instantly enveloping the Taoist priest and binding him in place.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dou Nengsheng stepped forward, raised his whisk high, and swung it down, striking him directly on the forehead.
"Bang!"
The sound of a watermelon bursting open rang out.
The Taoist's forehead immediately exploded, and the headless corpse fell straight down.
Dou Nengsheng then put away the Tai Chi talisman.
Before he could return to his own formation, two more disciples from the Earth Immortal lineage leaped out like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, flanking him from both sides and blocking his path.
"How dare you harm my senior brother! Today, you will pay with your life!"
The two Taoist priests moved swiftly, closing in on each other in the blink of an eye.
One of them held a sword, its blade gleaming with a cold light; the other held a ruyi scepter, its surface shimmering with auspicious light.
The two, one on the left and one on the right, worked in perfect coordination and pounced on Dou Nengsheng.
In an instant, sword shadows crisscrossed, and the energy on the field surged, causing the wind and clouds to change color.
The three displayed their unique skills, and for a time it was difficult to determine a winner; the fierce battle was in full swing.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already exchanged dozens of blows.
Just then, one of the Taoists, seeing that the battle was dragging on without a clear winner, grew impatient. He suddenly shouted, swung his sword, and chanted an incantation.
With a clear, resonant sound, a golden seal emerged and hovered in mid-air.
The seal grew larger as it faced the wind, instantly becoming as large as a small mountain, enveloped in a dazzling golden light.
Immediately afterwards, the giant seal, carrying unparalleled power, crashed down on Dou Nengsheng like Mount Tai pressing down.
Seeing this, another Taoist priest was not to be outdone. He quickly took out a silk ribbon-like magic weapon from his pocket, flicked his wrist, and the magic weapon instantly transformed into a stream of light, heading towards Dou Nengsheng.
Faced with such a fierce offensive, Dou Nengsheng remained calm and composed.
Suddenly, a cold, clear light emanated from his body, and with a flash, a puppet identical to himself was left behind.
He himself, under the cover of this clear light, silently slipped underground and disappeared without a trace.
The ribbon-like magical artifact was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it tightly bound the puppet that Dou Nengsheng had transformed into, rendering it unable to move at all.
The enormous seal, as massive as a mountain, descended from the sky and smashed into it solidly.
A deafening roar followed!
The earth trembled violently, as if a fierce earthquake had occurred.
The puppet avatar, which had been firmly suppressed by the powerful seal, instantly exploded into countless tiny fragments of primordial energy, which scattered like smoke.
"Oh no! This is terrible!"
Witnessing this scene, the two felt a chill run down their spines and secretly exclaimed that something was wrong.
They immediately became alert, paying close attention to their surroundings and quickly preparing to respond.
Just then, Dou Nengsheng silently emerged from underground a hundred feet away.
Before the two could notice, he quickly took out a round, shimmering ball of spiritual light.
Within the spiritual light, one could vaguely see a magical artifact shaped like a pair of scissors, its black and white surfaces intertwined and surrounded by iridescent light.
This treasure is called the Dragon-Tiger Ruyi Scissors, and it is one of the protective treasures of Dou Nengsheng's master, Guan Kong.
Just before challenging him to battle, Guan Kong, concerned for his beloved disciple's safety, specially took out the magic weapon and gave it to Dou Nengsheng, instructing him to use it to protect himself and save his life.
Now he has brought out this treasure.
The Dragon-Tiger Ruyi Scissors are a rare and unique weapon of unparalleled power, formed from the first innate killing intent born at the dawn of creation.
In terms of sheer power, its strength far surpasses that of the Golden Dragon Scissors wielded by the Three Immortal Maidens.
In an instant, the Dragon-Tiger Ruyi Scissors flew like lightning above the two of them, its body enveloped in an incomparably sharp innate killing intent, and swooped down from the sky with the force of a thunderbolt.
Faced with such a sudden attack, the two had no time to use their defensive magic weapons and were caught off guard.
The dragon-tiger scissors, resembling a nimble and cunning venomous snake, quickly circled around them.
Immediately afterward, as the Dragon Tiger Ruyi Scissors flew back into Dou Nengsheng's hands, two dazzling beams of blood-red light simultaneously erupted from their waists.
In the blink of an eye, two piercing screams echoed through the sky. The two bodies were brutally severed at the waist, their mangled corpses falling to the ground...
He easily won two battles and killed three people, yet he didn't lose a single hair on his head.
He no longer had the reputation of being able to win in battle.
Just then, a Taiyi Realm Earth Immortal suddenly jumped out from the opposite side.
This person is also one of Zhen Yuanzi's disciples.
"Don't be so smug, you little brat! Let this humble Taoist priest teach you a lesson!"
Having said that, he held a celestial sword above his head and used the technique of controlling the sword with his primordial spirit.
The immortal sword instantly transformed into a streak of cold light, with the force of a thunderbolt, slashing towards Dou Nengsheng with lightning speed...
